Introduction The Philippines is the world’s third most vulnerable country when it comes to disasters. It lies along the Pacific Ring of Fire made up of chains of islands, an active volcanic region, and along the Western Pacific Basin – a generator of monsoons, thunderstorms, typhoons, inter- tropical convergent zone, and El Niño – which explains why the country is prone to earthquakes and is visited by an average of 18 to 20 cyclones every year. Bohol is the 10th largest island of the archipelago and one of four provinces of Region VII, the Central Visayas Region. Classified First Class province by the Department of Finance, Bohol has 47 municipalities (30 coastal and 17 inland) and one component city that serves as the provincial capital and primary gateway of Bohol. The municipalities are grouped into three congressional districts with a total of 1,109 barangays and a population of 1.255 million Boholanos based on the NSO 2010 census. Being an island province, Bohol is one of the seismically active areas in the country and is, therefore, vulnerable to natural disasters. It is prone to earthquake and its related hazards like ground shaking, liquefaction, earthquake-induced landslide and tsunami. Instrumental monitoring of earthquakes for the past century has detected many small to moderate- magnitude earthquakes in Bohol Island. There is at least one known earthquake generator on the island, the East Bohol Fault. In addition, there are other local faults which can be sources of small to large magnitude earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur offshore or undersea because of local offshore faults near the island or trenches in the vicinity of the region. Among the areas in the Philippines threatened by drastic effects of global warming, Bohol was ranked as the 9th of the top 20 provinces vulnerable to a one-meter sea level rise (source: Climate Hotspot, Climate Change Impacts in the Philippines conducted by the Greenpeace Southeast Asia, Climate and Energy Campaign in 2007). Due to its topography and presence of eleven major rivers, the province is also prone to hydrometeorological hazards such as floods, rainfall-induced landslides and storm surge. As such, the province has been incurring significant economic and environmental damages from natural and man-made disasters. Notable calamities that hit the province include earthquakes, flashfloods in Clarin, Tubigon, Loon and Calape; landslides in Balilihan, Loboc, Alicia, Cortes, Jagna, Sierra Bullones; severe rains in Getafe and typhoons “Frank” and “Lando” that left significant damage to Bohol’s agricultural assets. Man-made calamities were also recorded during the period ranging from fire incidents, diarrhea outbreak and sea mishaps. 3 | P a g e 1. The 15 October Earthquake At 8:12 am on 15 October 2013, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck Bohol and nearby provinces as recorded by the PHIVOLCS seismic monitoring network. The epicenter was plotted at 6 kilometers S24W (9.86 deg N, 124.07 deg E) of Sagbayan municipality at a focal depth of 12 kilometers. Dr. Art Daag of the Geology Division of PHIVOLCS said that the Bohol quake is – historically – the largest quake that happened in the area and was apparently caused by a fault previously unknown to them. It was described as an earthquake with energy equivalent to “32 Hiroshima bombs”. PHIVOLCS reported that the M7.2 Bohol Earthquake was generated on the north-western sector of Bohol island by a NE-SW trending reverse fault (hereto named as North Bohol Fault (NBF), which had no previous surface manifestation. The NBF is categorized as a thrust fault or a (reverse) fault wherein the blocks move upward and downward relative to each other. A “ground rupture” pushed up a stretch of ground, creating a wall of rock above the epicenter. The PHIVOLCS Quick Response Team (QRT) measured surface ruptures, manifested as prominent fault scarps, ranging from 0.10 meter to as much as 5 meters in vertical displacements exposed in Brgy. Anonang in Inabanga Municipality. The mapped surface of the NBF is 6 kilometers long, from Brgy. New Anonang in Buenavista to
